Wedding hog roast in Inhurst
How our wedding hog roast works in Inhurst
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Inhurst. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it is post-wedding gatherings and anniversary vow renewals, we can cook salads, carved roast pork and crackling and more.
Near Inhurst, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Inhurst are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Think about shelter for your guests

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Common questions in Inhurst
Can you cater after a service at Saint Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Inhurst?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
